Does burnt hair grow back?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It entirely depends on level the burn took place. For mild burns hair regrowth usually takes places once the scalp gets healed.

View allI'm really worried right now. While I was shaving with a trimmer that has stainless steel blades, I accidentally got a cut on my scrotum. It bled quite a bit, and I noticed the skin has peeled off in about 23 places. The bleeding has stopped, but I'm unsure about how to help it heal properly. What should I apply to these cuts to prevent any further problems?

I've had these fat glands on my body since childhood and they keep increasing over time. They don't hurt but I really want to get rid of them. A doctor told me it's hereditary and harmless but I'm still bothered by them. Are there any medicines that can dissolve them or will I need surgery to remove them
Lipomas, which are benign fatty growths under the skin, are typically harmless and don't require treatment unless they cause discomfort or bother you cosmetically. While there are no medications to dissolve them, surgical removal is an option if you wish to get rid of them

I'm not sure what's going on, but every now and then I get this weird greasy warm feeling on my lips. They feel dry and normal when I touch them, but when I lick them, they taste just like grease. It's the strangest thing, and I've tried telling my doctors about it, but they just look at me like I'm crazy. It doesn't happen all the time; it just comes out of nowhereeven while I'm just watching TV or something. And it's not even my whole lipusually just a small part. Any idea what this could be?
